Hi, welcome to the forum. This is my busiest time of the year (I have to work sometimes unfortunately ) but as soon as I'm on top of it, I'll have a look to see if I have anything lying around for the name Wilkinson.

From 1891 census giving the surname of John's mother-in-law I looked for a marriage for Grace Walton with John Wilkinson on same page and found this. If you send for this cert it will give John's father and then you can go further back. At that time there were a few John Wilkinsons in Burnley and it would be easy to follow the wrong one without knowing the name of his father.Grace Walton Year of Registration: 1877 Dec quarter District: Burnley County: Lancashire, Yorkshire - West Riding Volume: 8e Page: 283

Marriage, and there is only one other person on the page and that is Hannah Wilkinson, if you send for this it will tell you if she has been married before, which I would think she has. The two girls will be from her first marriage, unless she had them out of wedlock. Adam Walton Year of Registration: 1847 Dec qtr District: Skipton County: Yorkshire - West Riding Volume: 23 Page: 648

Possible marriage for a Wilkinson (male) and a Hannah. Below are the details of a John Wilkinson and on the same page is a Hannah Holdsworth, so this could be the first marriage of Hannah. Best way to find out is to get the marriage cert of her to Adam Walton.
